I’m sorry that I left you , but I just had to go
You said I’m always leaving, well I’m just better on my own
I’m was a prisoner for you darling, I was shackled to the floor
These days I can walk through walls, I’m always lookn’ for the door
This town I’m just ghost, I just drift from bar to bar
With you I lost every battle but both lost the war
Its burns me down like the forest, it cuts just like knife
For what its worth, you were always right
Everyone wants to be in your company, they all want to take you home
She says “no one is special, the best you can hope for is to die alone”
Well I don’t believe in you magic, cast your spell on someone else
There’s another woman at my doorstep, she’s ringing my bell
All these books on my coffee table, they don’t give me no relief
Not Vonnegut or Kafka, not The Baron In The Trees
I live in the past when I’m alone , a haunted moonlit beach
With ghosts and watchtowers, and the Mississippi heat
You know I try and travel back in my mind, buts never quite as sweet
The first go around will break your heart, then it’s just a matter of greed
Every man is a mountain, who can what he has seen
I don’t buy flowers anymore, i am the ghost machine
